Frankly I am shocked I got 27 up votes. To your point I expected a net negative score for the comment because
- it was a joke (not typically acceptable on HN)
- it is a dated reference
I decided it was worth it…
- gfosco 3y agoIt's always worth it... Sometimes, even the downvotes are enjoyable.

- bcrosby95 3y agoIn my experience jokes usually do well on HN. Memes and catchphrases don't. That's the main difference. Once something becomes a meme it's not actually funny anymore, but you'll still get upvoted for it on a place like Reddit because you're signalling that you're part of the "in" group.
